What if you eat everything with a fork?
- buckbova 13y agoWhat if you eat everything with a spork?
- JackFr 13y agoWhat if you eat everything?

- oftenwrong 13y agoThen you probably don't eat spaghetti.
- buckbova 13y agoYou must not be familiar with this utensil. It is a spoon with a fork like end. Many a plate of school lunch spaghettis has been eaten with a spork.
- FooBarWidget 13y agoIt's still much easier and more efficient to eat spaghetti with chopsticks.
- oftenwrong 13y agoAll of the sporks I have used have tines that are too short for proper spaghetti-twirling. Also, their bowls are always so shallow that it makes soup a chore to consume. What kind do you use?
- joshowens 13y agoTry it before you knock it, I would bet money you would enjoy it.
- edwinnathaniel 13y agoThe last time I tried this it wasn't silver bullet and it was not an euphoria.
- asdasf 13y agoI have tried it. I enjoyed it slightly less than I enjoyed maintaining PHP3/mysql3 nightmares.
- meowface 13y agoI already hate writing Javascript for the frontend. If I had to write it on the backend, too, I'd probably go insane. Coffeescript makes things a bit better, but only to an extent (plus it has a few odd quirks of its own). I'd much prefer if some day the reverse was possible: writing Python or Ruby on the backend AND the frontend. I imagine something like that would render Node rather useless. (And no, they did not invent the first or the last usable asynchronous web framework.)
- asdasf 13y agoIt is already happening. Not specifically with python or ruby (although possibly, I don't follow them), but several languages have "compile to javascript" options now. Just like we treat CSS as purely for the machine generated from the SASS which is for people, we treat javascript as purely for the machine generated from the haskell which is for people.
- meowface 13y agoTrue, such options are available. To my understanding there is a performance hit involved, though, unless something like asm.js is used. I also believe there are some current projects that compile Python and Ruby into JS, but I'm not sure how mature they are.
